Jimmy Calderwood Quotations

The only positive I can take from that game is the fact that we got a point,

Celtic have played a one-two and we've been caught. We're playing a sweeper. It was a great strike by the lad but we shouldn't be caught like that.

Barry has stepped up his training and will be available from a week tomorrow.

He responded magnificently to be our top scorer last season and he has come back with two important goals which has got the supporters chanting his name, which is tremendous for the kid.

It is back to the drawing board for Hart,

That was very disappointing on such a special day,

That summed up our second-half performance. It was just too easy for Petrov.

We will be asking questions about their desire in training this week and it will then be up to the players to react in the way I want when we go to Dunfermline.

The whole game, we didn't create two chances. We brought players in to create things and we didn't do that. The second half was so bad. We didn't get a shot. We've brought a great crowd here today and we've let them down badly.

It was Roy of the Rovers stuff from Darren and it was great to see him back in such good form,

That's absolute rubbish. I haven't heard a thing about it, never mind had an interview.

It was a great performance but we have still lost the game so I'm disappointed.

The Celtic support was getting restless at that point. They were knocking it around for fun but they hadn't been doing that for 65 minutes.

I'm delighted Gary has decided to stick around.

I knew he was a good player I didn't know he was as good as that, ... He's been absolutely brilliant for us, whether I play him wide, through the middle with another striker or in midfield. He's got such quick feet you saw it in the first half, when he's did a wee hingme and the boy's made a great save.

I knew Jamie Smith was a good player, but I didn't realise he was as good as that,

I have no problem with Derek still being here at Pittodrie. He is a great professional, a real credit to himself and the club. But If Derek did stay, it would have to be as an extra striker.

I fully expect him to come through these first five months with no problems. And, if that is the case, we will be able to have more talks in the summer and, hopefully, offer him a new deal.

Can he play football? Give him a pair of boots!

Gary has told me he wants to stay here next season, which he is contracted to, and that is really good news. He was worried he wasn't getting chances to play earlier in the season, but that has changed because he has been a regular in the side of late and to be honest, he has been one of our best players.
